Chapter 1294: You're Too Slow!

This slash was very precise, cutting off Liang Wanru's main artery in one stroke, causing blood to gush out.

Although these demonic beasts were all ninth-rank, they were like the wild beasts of the Immortal Forest World—savage and uncivilized.

Sensing the smell of blood, they indeed frantically pounced toward Liang Wanru.

For a moment just now, Ye Yuan had almost believed it!

Unexpectedly, this Liang Wanrong was as venomous as a snake, feeding her sister to the tiger's mouth to save herself!

Liang Wanru pulled and leaped, her figure already a hundred zhang away.

Zhang Shun, let's go!

Second Miss, this...

What? Do you think you can handle this beast tide?

Zhang Shun shook his head. This was a death sentence!

Then what are you waiting for? My dear sister likes that pretty boy, doesn't she? Becoming a pair of lovebirds in death—sister should thank me! Liang Wanrong sneered.

Zhang Shun glanced pityingly in that direction, sighed, and led the guards to break out.

Over there, Liang Wanru and Ye Yuan could no longer be seen, completely submerged by the frenzied demonic beasts.

A glint of satisfaction flashed across Liang Wanrong's lips. Finally, that annoying woman was dead!

Although most of the demonic beasts were attracted to Liang Wanru, there were still quite a few around, making it not easy for them to escape.

The guards fought fiercely, breaking through several li in no time.

Second Miss, something's wrong! I feel like the demonic beasts are increasing, endless! Zhang Shun said with a grave expression.

Liang Wanrong had obviously noticed this too, and her face turned very ugly.

It's all that bitch's fault—she couldn't even delay for a moment! Useless! Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and break out, or none of us will escape! Liang Wanrong said harshly.

The others dared not delay, working together to break through.

Zhang Shun was indeed worthy of being a Dongxuan Divine Realm expert, moving among these ninth-rank demonic beasts as if through an empty land.

But the number of demonic beasts was simply too great, impossible to kill them all!

Roar!

A loud sound came, and Zhang Shun's expression suddenly changed.

From this pressure, it could be judged that it was definitely a divine beast!

A blur passed by, and Zhang Shun's face changed drastically as he instinctively blocked.

Boom!

The powerful Zhang Shun was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood.

This was a unique mark of a Divine Realm expert!

It's a Cloud-Pupil Sound-Splitting Leopard! Zhang Shun exclaimed.

The Cloud-Pupil Sound-Splitting Leopard could be called a jungle overlord among demonic beasts. Its body was not large, but its speed was incredibly fast, two to three times that of human warriors at the same level!

Once entangled by it, there was almost no chance of survival!

That was why Zhang Shun was so shocked.

Despair appeared on the faces of the others. With the Cloud-Pupil Sound-Splitting Leopard present, they had almost no chance of escape.

Zhang Shun took a deep breath, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, and said, You protect the Second Miss and break out. I'll hold off this beast from behind!

This Cloud-Pupil Sound-Splitting Leopard was very powerful, and when fighting Zhang Shun, it firmly had the upper hand.

The group fought while retreating, suffering rapid casualties.

This beast tide was not large in scale, but it was still not something a team of dozens of warriors could withstand.

After a fierce battle, Zhang Shun was overwhelmed by the Cloud-Pupil Sound-Splitting Leopard, soon covered in wounds.

The guard team was surrounded by a large number of demonic beasts, with no way to retreat, and their numbers dwindled sharply.

The original team of nearly a hundred people was reduced to just over twenty.

Just as everyone was in despair, all the demonic beasts suddenly stopped attacking.

Even the Cloud-Pelt Sound-Leopard stopped its attack on Zhang Shun.

Zhang Shun's breath was ragged, and his body was covered with patches of golden blood.

Protected by the group, Liang Wanrong was in a slightly better state than the others, but only slightly.

At this moment, Liang Wanrong's clothes were tattered, torn in many places by the beasts, making her look like a beggar.

Though the beasts had ceased their attack, they surrounded the group without letting them go.

"Second Miss, are you all right?" Zhang Shun asked.

"I'm fine. Zhang Shun, what's going on?" Liang Wanrong said with a grim face.

Zhang Shun shook his head. "I don't know! The beasts in a beast tide are usually frenzied; this shouldn't happen. Judging by their behavior, there might be a beast king appearing."

Zhang Shun, a seasoned traveler, made his own judgment on the situation.

But this judgment only filled the group with despair.

Even a single Cloud-Pelt Sound-Leopard was more than they could handle; a beast king that made even it retreat would be far worse.

Liang Wanrong's face showed unwillingness. She hadn't expected that useless sister of hers couldn't even buy a little time—a complete waste!

As for Ye Yuan, she didn't even consider him.

Just a waste; he would probably be torn to shreds by the beasts in an instant.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

The entire Ten Thousand Beasts Forest trembled under the heavy footsteps.

The beasts shivered and lowered their proud heads.

When the beast king passes, all beasts bow in submission!

Zhang Shun and the others' faces turned even uglier; such a commotion meant an even more powerful divine beast had appeared!

A giant elephant approached from afar, coming into view.

Even the Cloud-Pelt Sound-Leopard made way, clearly wary of the giant elephant.

"It's a Demon Heaven Giant Elephant! This Demon Heaven Giant Elephant is a first-stage late divine beast!" Zhang Shun exclaimed.

That Cloud-Pelt Sound-Leopard was only a first-stage early divine beast.

A first-stage late divine beast was enough to become the beast king of this group!

No wonder all the beasts had submitted.

"Sir, look! There seems to be someone on the back of that Demon Heaven Giant Elephant!" a subordinate suddenly said to Zhang Shun.

Startled, Zhang Shun squinted toward the elephant's back and indeed saw two figures.

But due to the angle, he couldn't make them out clearly.

Nevertheless, there was no doubt that someone was riding on the elephant's back!

This shock was no small matter!

A first-stage late Demon Heaven Giant Elephant was incredibly powerful.

Even in Guishan City, few martial artists could match it.

Yet now, someone was riding on its back!

Divine beasts were different from ordinary beasts; each was noble and proud.

Even if a martial artist was stronger, they wouldn't allow themselves to be ridden!

Unless the martial artist was powerful enough to subdue the Demon Heaven Giant Elephant as a mount.

Could it be that the two on the elephant's back were that formidable?

Zhang Shun's face suddenly lit up with wild joy. He said to Liang Wanrong, "Second Miss, perhaps we are not doomed after all!"

Liang Wanrong's heart leaped with joy, and she immediately understood Zhang Shun's meaning. She called out loudly toward the Demon Heaven Giant Elephant, "Seniors, this junior is a daughter of the Liang family of Guishan City. We encountered a beast tide while passing through the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. I beg you to save us, and the Liang family will surely reward you handsomely!"

The Liang family held considerable influence in the Guishan City area, and Liang Wanrong believed the other party must have heard of the Liang name.

At that moment, the Demon Heaven Giant Elephant drew near, and a mocking voice came from its back: "You're too slow. How have you only come this far?"
